All Indian Men Should Follow These 5 Grooming Tips For Facial Hair

If we were to go by Merriam-Webster's definition of the word 'grooming', it basically means one basic thing - to make oneself (or someone else!) neat and more attractive. Now most men understand this well enough and don't hold back vis-a-vis investing in grooming essentials. But I've noticed a trend lately where, when it comes to facial hair, most men have decided to either not prioritize or outright ignore its grooming. This becomes even more puzzling when, in most cases, it's a man's beard game that actually helps him leave a lasting impression on his dates. So to help our bros take their beard and mooch game to the next level, here are five grooming tips for facial hair that all Indian men should follow .

1) Invest In A Quality Trimmer

Seriously guys, it's not that hard to do this. When looking for the best trimmers for Indian men, there are four major factors that you should keep in mind - the brand you are opting for (Philips trimmers always make for a great option), whether you want a wired or wireless trimmer, the type of beard you are growing (is it a stubble or a proper mane?) and what's the budget that you're working with. Following these tips will help you make an informed choice and invest in a quality beard trimmer that will certainly upgrade your grooming game.

2) Hair Growth Oils Are Your Friend - Use Them Wisely

There is nothing wrong in wanting to grow your beard - as long as you do it the right way. Some of the best oils for hair growth out there can end up being of great use in this regard, so long as you use them wisely. So make some room in your grooming regimen for beard growth oils and you'll be good to go. Additionally, you can also opt for beard and moustache waxes that will help groom your facial hair.

Pro tip: Beardo and Mamaearth come out with premium hair growth oils that you could opt for.

3) Don't Follow The Crowd, Cultivate Your Own Sense Of Style

Sheep follow the crowd, men walk their own path. That mind sound a bit cliched, but it's actually pretty relevant when it comes to grooming your facial hair. Blindly following your favourite celebrity and basing your beard on their beard doesn't work because - a) your face shape may differ from theirs, and b) the way your beard grows out may differ as well. As such, you should cultivate your own sense of style and grow your beard keeping in mind your facial shape and comfort.

4) Wash Your Beard Regularly And Choose Your Face Wash Wisely

People often forget about the damage using a substandard face wash could cause to their beard and mooch. As such, choosing a premium and A-grade face wash, depending on your skin type and the length of your facial hair, becomes essential. For instance, you should look for face washes for dry skin (if that is your skin type) that don't contain any such ingredients that could be harmful for your facial hair. Additionally, you should also make it a habit of washing your face at least three to four times a day, so as to always keep your beard clean.

5) Finally, Know When To Trim It

There is nothing wrong with growing a beard, as long as you know when it's the right time to trim it. If your beard is growing unevenly (which is more common that you'd like to believe), or if its not suiting your face shape, then that's a sign for you to use a trimmer.
